I have 11 days till my surgery I'm ready to do it so far on pre op diet I've lost 22 lbs have my appointment with surgeon and pre register at hospital and labs all tomorrow. It's funny at my class Saturday it was on Mindful Eating so the Psy brought in fruit for everyone to eat to make you think about all the streps that had to go through to get it there the growing picking shipping and pre to eat then she had someone bless the food and had everyone smell it the take a bit and think about it was very interesting how some people smelt the camp lope as a perfume fragrant and how everyone compared even the portions they got 7 post op 3 pre op patients that pre op said the felt they got to much as posed to post op and 1 post op thought she didn't get enough compared to other post op and how I felt watching everyone else eat cause I'm on only shakes if it bothered me seeing others eat she had told me this and asked if I wanted to leave because of this exercise I told her no she even went as far as bring in special dishes that belong to her Grandmother that she using on special occasions it was a very interesting exercise. Then this Thursday we have a cooking class that the chief prepares a meal I going to I had thought it was to be my lat meal but they moved my surgery from 21 to the 14 and if I didn't want to attend cause it was a dinner I told her this was something we had to get used to because of social and family function you are going to be put in these situations and I wasn't going to avoid them just cause I could not EAT its social not just food or eating for being with friends

I started pre op diet in jan with 2 shakes Bariatic Advantage Meal Replacements it's the only one my dr lets you use pre op and 1 meal the 14 days before its 5 shakes a day the whole time yo can have sf Popsicle jello broth and 1 sf fudgesiclle a day and any sf zero calories drinks must get 64 oz total fluids a day haven't had any problems with it except my stomach was gurgling all the time and very louse stool but I had heard about Papaya Enzines and they really help with all the gurgling not much for the louse stuff but they say cause so much liquids there cheap $4 at Walmart in vitamin secyion
